How can you use “afferent” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Those afferents that exhibited a pause in discharge frequency as the extrafusal fibers contracted ("silent period") were classified as muscle spindles [ 24 25 ] . Primary muscle spindles were differentiated from secondary muscle spindles with the satisfaction of at least two out of three criteria tested on every afferent: 1) a conduction velocity > 75 m/sec; 2) an increase in discharge frequency at 100 μm displacement reflecting a low stretch threshold; 3) an abrupt decrease in frequency discharge at the end of stretch that returned to L init static discharge levels.
The program was designed to provide the instantaneous frequency of the afferent spikes at the corresponding amplitudes of the displacement motor that produced the muscle stretch.
The discharge of the afferent was recorded throughout the stretch.
In particular the horizontal canal receives a rather dense afferent and efferent innervation in Brn3c null mutants.
Some DRG neurons that were immunostained for MIF also co-contained the neurotransmitter substance P. Our findings of MIF in DRG neurons confirm earlier observations in the embryonic mouse [ 19 ] . However, our findings of MIF protein in afferent neurons in the DRG that also contain substance P represent a novel finding in the adult rat.
